Modifying the Whois (Contact Details) of Domain Names

Typically, Domain Name Contacts are of the following types:

Registrant Contact

Administrative Contact

Technical Contact

Billing Contact

In the system, Contacts are independent of a domain name. All contact information that you have used for registering any domain name, is maintained separately in a Contact database. This allows you to re-use the contact information for any other domain name registration without having to fill in all the values again. Think of this as linking Contacts from your Contact database to the domain names you register. Whenever you change any contact information in any Contact, it will automatically change that information in every domain name which uses that contact information and reflect the same immediately in the Whois lookup results of your domain name.

.CA domain names only have Registrant, Administrative and Technical Contacts. There is no Billing Contact.

In case of a .EU domain name, only the Registrant Contact information needs to be provided and hence, the Contact Details view will display only the Registrant Contact. However, the Whois Lookup results of a .EU domain name will also display an Onsite Contact and a Billing Contact. See details

Modify the details and click the Save Contact Details button to proceed to save the changes.

You may choose to use the the Registrant Contact Details for the Administrative, Billing & Technical Contact Details by selecting the Use same contact for Administrative, Billing & Technical details checkbox.

The Modify Contact form supports the following, except for the Phone Number, Fax Number and Email Address fields:

Accented characters in case of the below Contact Types:

General Contact

Thin Registry - All characters

Thick Registry - A set of characters and this set varies from Registry to Registry

.CA Contact

.CO Contact

.EU Contact

Chinese characters in case of .CN Contact (Contact Type).

In case of a .CA(Anchor: caaddrules) domain name, the following is relevant:

A Registrant Contact can be either an Individual or a Company.

In case the Registrant Contact is a Company, the Company name itself should be mentioned in the Name field of the Contact. The Company Name field can be filled in as N/A.

Administrative and Technical Contacts can only be Individuals.

There is no Billing Contact for a .CA domain name.

You can not modify the Registrant Contact's Name of a .CA domain name. If you wish to modify the Registrant Contact Details of your .CA domain name, you need to instead create a new Contact and assign it as the Registrant Contact.

Modifying the Registrant Contact Organization for a .JOBS domain name will necessitate re-verification.

A fee might apply depending on the situation; instances are handled on a case by case basis by the Registry Operator for .JOBS (Employ Media LLC). Registry Operator may be contacted directly at the time of the Registrant change to find out if there is going to be any fee.
